My World Tuesday-Bako National Park.

mwtblack

More tour to other part of the World

HERE

May be one day you visit Sarawak & one place that you must put on your trip list is Bako National Park.

The journey to the Bako National Park starts with a half hour boat ride from Kampung Bako,picture below.

Bakko

Lying 37 kilometres northeast of Kuching City is Bako, Sarawak's oldest national park. Often underestimated by travellers, this is actually one of Asia's most perfect nature parks with a wild shoreline of mangrove swamp and a hinterland of kerangas bush bustling with proboscis monkeys and birdlife.
The journey to the national park starts with a half hour boat ride from Kampung Bako, a picturesque fishing village some 45 minutes by road from Kuching, to the park's headquarters at Telok Assam. Along the way, you will see numerous wooden houses on stilts from riverside villages and fishermen tending to their fish traps. On a clear day, you may even catch a glimpse of the majestic Mount Santubong on the distant horizon.

Pushing pole,shore and drag the bamboo rafts all the way down to finish line.

I think this will be a true test of strength and endurance because participants will have to row over a punishing distance of 26 kilo meter from kampung Dannu to kampung Git.

The official of the event enjoy the view from the stage that build on the trees..so that's nature.

I'm glad and happy to see my sister in-law her loving husband and the four children  enjoy the trip to OrangUtan Rehabilition Centre to-day (Tuesday 29/10/2009) at Semenggoh Kuching.They come from Kuala Lumpur on a short visit to Kuching for Hari Raya.I'm honoured to be the tour guide & I take this opportunity to share this trip with My World Tuesday friends out there.

The OrangUtan enjoy the fruits during feeding time that is at 09:00am & 03:00pm daily.

 

P9292301 

Located 20 km away from Kuching, the Semenggoh Orang-Utan Rehabilitation Center is a sanctuary for the endangered Orang-Utans, Southeast Asia’s only great ape species that are gentle and shy in disposition.

Most of the time, these primates forage among the trees in private but do come out during the feeding times in the park. Visitors can then observe the behaviours and emotions of these ‘Men in the Forest’, which is what their name means in English. Feeding times are held every 0900 hrs and 1500 hours.

The tourist enjoy the visit .Just E-Mail me (uncleawang@gmail.com) I would be happy to bring you there but in small group as I drive only small compact car .

The sanctuary is just a 30-minute drive away from, Kuching City. In the sanctuary young orang utans that are either orphaned of rescued from captivity are trained to survive in the wild wilderness.

The Semmengoh Orang Utan sanctuary gives you the perfect opportunity to see these magnificent creatures up close especially during their feeding time.

 

P9292324

Semmengoh is a forest area where orangutans are released to the wild having been rescued from captivity. Food is put out twice a day to help the orangutans survive - they have neither the skills nor a large enough area to do without help. Sometimes in the fruiting season they do not turn up at feeding times but usually a loud call from the reserve staff will bring them to a feeding platform in front of a gathering of gawping tourists.
